As a player who's been in the community since late Beta I gota ask, Did Champ titles ever come up when discussions of flavor came up?
Can you explain what you mean by champ titles?

What’s your favorite piece of lore that you were able to expand upon with card interactions?
I love this question, but it's so hard to answer.
Lore is one of my favorite parts of games and being able to expand the lore or League IP on LOR was an amazing experience and I feel lucky that I was a part of it.
One of my favorite card interactions is Draven saying "What the F is that?" when he sees an enemy Teemo.
What is your favourite kind of donut?
Butter and Salt from Sidecar donuts!
I love you man, thanks for making this game so fantastic. You will be missed.
<3
Thank you!
Thanks, for all your efforts to make LoR the best game possible. I know the community has always appreciated this, despite some rough patches along the way. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
Thank you!
crunchy or creamy peanut butter?
I like both and it depends on what I'm craving.
I guess if I have to pick, then I'll pick creamy.
No real question. Just wishing the best for you!
Thank you!
Good Luck on your new journey and thanks for your hardwork!
Thank you!
Hey dovagedys! Wishing you the best in your new role. My question is, how involved were you with tarics development? Were there different iterations of him before release and do you think that he released in a good state
Thank you!
I was involved in his development. I think there were some different tweaks on Taric, but the general concept was the same from start to finish. We really liked it and it felt like it represented Taric in LOR very well.
I do think he released in a good state. I'm proud of Taric.
Thanks for all your hard work, you’ve made this game incredible! What was the most broken first draft of a card that you saw?
I think it's a tie between one of the first versions of Katarina or one of the first versions of Legion Drummer.
There was a time when Katarina had text that whenever she was in combat if you had a spell or ability on the stack she would deal 1 damage to all enemy units. It was very good with cards like Boomcrew Rookie. She would essentially kill all the enemy units every time she attacked.
There was a time when Legion Drummer was a 3 mana 3/3 that had an ability that every time you cast a spell all your units would get +1 / +0 and Overwhelm. In that state of the game it was very common to be able to kill from 20 to zero on turn 3 and turn 4 of the game with Legion Drummer.
It's funny that I actually hate playing against all your favourite decks lol.
Over the life of the game, I think I've played every archetype at some point. I have a very long list of favorites. I only listed the ones at the top of the list.
I'm sure there are some favorite decks we have in common. <3
Are you working on the MMORPG?
No. I'm working on an unannounced game.
Which poro is your favorite?
Nimble Poro - not close.
She will always be my favorite. She even has a song that RubinZoo created for her and I find myself singing it all the time at work.
All of the poros are cute and I love all of them, but Nimble Poro is definitely my favorite.
What's your favourite food?
Ramen!
Was 11/17 meant to be a thing or were we chasing red herrings?
11/17 was never a reference to anything.
It was simply the numbers the game designer responsible for the design chose at the time of making the card.
I think that we liked they were prime numbers, but my memory could be flawed here.
No questions for you, just a thank you. This game is truly amazing, and I can't wait to know what you will achieve in your next project :)
<3
Thank you!
What was your favorite story from behind the scenes in LoR?
And what's the most embarrassing thing we can tease Rubinzoo about in his future streams? :)
Good luck in your future projects!
There are so many fun and favorite stories from my time working with the team. It is impossible to pick just one.
But also I don't want to dodge your question so I'll share something I think was very funny. Many years ago when I was working on my Yasuo cosplay I was taking the work very seriously and putting a lot of time and dedication into the cosplay. Getting the hair right was proving to be the hardest part of the whole cosplay. I tried so many wigs and methods to try and get the hair to look good. One of the efforts involved using cardboard inside the wig to try and shape the wig, but the cardboard wouldn't reshape from it's square/rectangle shape, so the wig ended up being a huge rectangle on my head. It was garbage and so I threw it away. However, the lead designer of Set 1, Riot Unconkable, thought it was so funny that he dug it out of the trash and kept the wig to remind me and the whole team of the disaster. He is a hilarious person. Also as part of that story I w...
Read moreIs there anything you could share that you pushed for heavily but never ended up getting implimented into LoR?
This is a fun question, but unfortunately answering it would fall under revealing things Riot considers secret.
The good news is that the reason it is a secret is because the ideas may end up in the game some day!
Do you play LOR yourself? If so what’s your favorite archetype and are you going to keep playing in the future?
Yes - I play all the time!
My favorite archetype of all time is Irelia and Azir. Followed closely by Lulu and Zed. That is mostly a product of those champions being some of my favorite from a lore perspective.
My favorite deck right now is Bandle Tree. I like alternate win conditions and I think there are so many cute and funny cards in the deck.
edit: Recently most of my time is spent playing Path of Champions! I love playing PVE and story modes.
Hi everyone!
This is a hard message to share, but I think it’s important to share the news directly with you all. Over the summer, I decided to swap to a position on a R&D project. We have an amazing community and we are all making this game together. It’s in the spirit of our collaboration that I want to share some thoughts with you all and be available to answer your questions.
My journey on LOR started on February 22, 2017 and my last day on the team was July 2, 2021. My role on the team and my focus of work shifted a few times, but most of you know me for my contributions for card content on:
